Well,as I mentioned earlier,I have a sword that is quite old.One educated laymans' estimate was 16th century.It has engraving and a Cyrillic makers' mark.I'm speculating it may have been made for the Ottoman Navy.At any rate it appears to have been a predecessor to the cutlass in design I'm interested in finding out how much it might cost me to get it re-gripped,and possibly a new scabbard made.just so I know if it's possible,financially.

NWTF long hunter, A very nice knife, and almost a perfect profile for one I offer with a partial tang. Your leather is also top notch. Good looking outfit. Wattlebuster, no, I did not make Mark Bakers knife. It was made by George Ainslie, as best I recall, who copied it from one thought to be French in Madison Grant's book.
